Booked thru booking.com , they charged a lot of money and tried to stick us in a tiny room, and said there were no other rooms available. When we went down and said we were not happy they gave us another bigger room. This is for $600 per night. Next time we will stay at kimpton or princes street

Great location and the penthouse suite had a fabulous balcony overlooking the city. Staff friendly and efficient. Knowing it was a birthday celebration there was complimentary fizz and a message with best wishes. Amelia at reception was a star.
On one of the days the breakfast service seemed a bit slow but perhaps the kitchen was backed up with orders. The food itself was gorgeous.

This hotel is a block away from Royal Mile and easy walk to the Edenborough Castle and Mound. The train station is right across the street, which is very convenient for traveling to other destinations. Despite being close to the main train station the area clean and safe. Great breakfast buffet. There is also a great restaurant on the first floor.

Great location! Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Great continental breakfast option. Comfortable beds. Good shower with hot water and good water pressure.
Everything was great, room size was large and view was pretty! The carpet in our room could use a deep cleaning soon.
